busy weekend

Time really FLIES. Like at the blink of the eye, my weekend is gone once again. Somehow i do get terrified at how fast time actually flies. I still remember the days in secondary school where i would dream about how great it would be to be JC student... to be like 18 yrs old. some how 18 is e perfect age for me... it's like e golden age where u hv reached a certain level of maturity... no longer a small kid but not old either. You're a youth! haha. n now i am already 19 years old!! my JC phase is long over... n somehow 18 didnt seem so fantastic. I feel like some how i am not making good use of the time that i have!! Help!! like arghhh... time just keep rushing ahead and i am always behind struggling to catch up with it.

but oh well, this weekend had been really eventful. Went to join in my juniors' orientation finale programme. Wah so much thgs happened. good n bad.

The morning's kayaking was really exhilarating. I hadnt kayak for sooo long that i had actually forgotten all the thrills and excitement kayaking far out at sea gives u. The sea got pretty choppy in the rain in the late afetrnoon which makes it more challenging for us. Had so much fun tryin to cut the waves right at an angle to prevent capsizing. oh i had to take the doubles though i had wished for a single. But well it turned out to be a good thing, cos i paired with my junior and after talking to him the whole mornign and afternoon, i am glad to say that the feeling seemed to have returned. so let's hope he had truly open up to me... so pls let me be his great mentor n nt to let him down anymore!!! oh yes, i realise dat my endurance n arm power had improved! i didnt stop kayaking throughout the whole mini expedition at all! yay! =D

after kayaking was the bbq dinner.. which i didnt get to really enjoy cos haha we r called to choreo a simple dance for the juniros to dance at some checkpoint during their overnight hike later on. Haha the dance was really cute n even had a story line! lol! but oh well dinner was good nonetheless, there was food left fortunately when we went back to the pit to eat. By the way, i really find it sooo irritating of people calling me manly and like keep mocking me when i dance... ok i noe i am not graceful but do you guys have to do that? even if it's a joke, i would think that it is such a bad joke. Jokes are not meant to be repeated over and over again. callin me 'manly' for more than 100 times n above is jus pure irritating.

After dinner was our overnight. Due to some delay, we missed the last train to our starting point so we had to take the bus to go to our own starting point. It was truly a night of madness. but some how i do feel that it was slower than last year's and less fun. probly cos it's a dif level of involvement i guess. Last yr's was our show but this yr it's our juniors' turn to run the show for their juniors and we were only there to support. But some of the games we played was quite hilarious. One of it was the peanut clipping game. We each took turn to grab an amount of peanut for the rest to guess if it's odd or even in number. The losers will have to clip the peanuts onto themselves. Two of my ever crazy jrs went on to clip the peanuts onto their nose...like between the nostrils.. which is so sick... cos when they talk, laugh and move, the damn peanuts will sway from side to side too. so distracting n grossed out but yet funny!

well all in all, the hike was not easy for me. haha it really seem like the older you get the more easily it gets for fatigue to set in. Cos all of the older folks were sooo shagged after the hike bu our juniors r still perky and spirited. good for em. lol! mayb is it cos we were e one setting pace for em towards e end, so we pushed ourselves in order to push em till there's nothing left in us? haha. oh well, walking w blister n a cut on ur toes isnt the most comfortable thg to do, it got really excruciating towards the end even because i couldnt really step down when i walk, thus causing strain on my ankle and feet. but i guess it's really a mind over body thg. I am glad i managed to ignore the pain n ppushed myself further. Aspire seems to be a source of motivation and strength for me now whenever i am place in such situation. Whenever i felt like complaining, memories of aspire will start flooding my mind and make all these seem like nothing. Haha goood thing i went for it man.

I cant really stand it when people start to assume that one should be much stronger after going through so much shit b4. All i can say is that those peopl who say thhey werent tired after gg thru shit arent honest with themselves at all. Gg through the worst test doesnt really increase your treshold level directly. Wat it truly does is to make ur mind stronger so that you can have the will power to control you body, to cont to push yourself even when you thought that you had hit your limit. So it's not true that a person no longer tire as easily but it's simply because the person is in better control of himself. but if he were to be honest, he is still TIRED.

but anyway came home with wei shan to sleep. haha cant believe that i slept frm 10 plus all the way to ard 5! It's so unbelievable that i had to checked if my clock was ticking when i saw the time, cos i didnt now that i was THIS tired. I didnt even wake up when wei shan left my house. haha. i am a genius.
